New statutory standards for staff and fees in the care industry

Background

We want the Government to set new statutory minimum standards for staff and fees in the care industry to ensure a safer industry for clients.

Additional details

There needs to be a law regarding care & nursing homes to ensure the safety of residents to: - have a minimum staff to resident ratio - mandate transparency & full breakdown of care fee calculation to be provided when required - ensure care fees should be the same regardless of who pays the fees. Those self-funding currently pay more than council funded residents to balance the books. - require a good command of the English language to ensure better communication with people being supported
